The “Doing Things The Easy Way” reminds me of poster I saw a long time ago. it showed a similar maze, except the rat had bulldozed a straight path through the maze to the cheese. The caption was “The object is ‘Get The Cheese’, not ‘Run The Maze’.”
one of the most popular girls in H.S. would have put it, “any dick’l do”.. in after thought she really had a problem… wonder how things turned out for her..
As another random bit of trivia, my mother was married to Whit Bissell’s brother for a brief period. I’m sorry it didn’t work out, because it was one of the better years of my childhood in many ways. I recall meeting Whit on a number of occasions and he seemed like a very nice gentleman to an 8-year-old.
Those “How and Why Wonder Books” were really cool science books when I was in the first and second grade. They could explain the basics without talking down to you. And it’s still amazing to think that some of the basics of science are so simple that a child can understand them.
I remember one example that showed two clowns with chairs. One chair was nailed to the floor and the clown was straining to lift it. The other chair had a feather on its seat and the clown had lifted it with ease. The book asked which clown was working, then explained that it was the clown who had raised the chair. Work is force over distance, and the other clown hadn’t made anything move.

To me the horse here looks more like Fury and the guy sure looks the other part.
